I remember this, it should be recorded in the annals of reddit history. Forget broken arms and jolly ranchers, cock-in-the-hole is the best thing I've read. It's his indignant responses to people telling him he'd done it wrong that makes it golden.

To be fair, some of those people are being fucking tedious. There's a lot of funny comments, but considering that the recipe OP used was deliberately an alternative, unique one, the yelping twats unironically lambasting him for being a fucking uneducated Yank ruining good food, DARING to even DARE to deviate from a traditional recipe, are taking the whole thing tiresomely fucking seriously.

There was a similar one of an American trying to make a Full English Breakfast, and they were all "I don't get it, do all you guys get up at 6am, because it takes 2 hours to bake the beans", without realising we use the tinned beans...

The conviction that it was done to recipe, I can't believe anyone writing a cookbook would think that was right I also can't believe anyone finishing that method without once thinking "you know what, this seems a little strange"

The thing that gets me is this: he would have had to carve the chicken in there... I can just picture the carnage as he started tearing off wings and drumsticks with no clue how to get at a breast, the whole time thinking "I've done this completely right, I can tell."

I used to own a pub and on Sundays I'd do individual Yorkshire Puddings filled with rosemary & garlic roast chicken, herb stuffing and gravy and have a load of plates on the bar so people could help themselves. A far cry from the monstrosity this dude cooked up...
